September 28, 2020 - Excellent
March 16, 2020 - Typical zin from Sonoma. Nothing really distinguishable.
March 30, 2019 - Had this a couple weeks back, great fruit, simple structure but very tasty. Would buy again.
November 26, 2018 - The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like prune and red currant. It tastes like red currant, prune, clove and black pepper. The body is medium/full. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. Good with salami, will try spicy food and fruity sauces
January 6, 2017 - The nose seemed pretty dry to me, but the first sip hits with some good spice, and there's a nice sweet finish. I drank it with pizza (I know, not the fanciest of pairings), but it went well with food. I'm usually not a sweet wine person, but this wine surprised me with the spicy notes.
January 6, 2017 - After sufficient delay to allow my jet-lagged bottle to recover from the cold, I poured my first glass (via aerator) and was immediately graced with a pleasant deep red appearance accompanied by taste of blackberry and hints of raspberry. Good alcohol balance, and lightly sweet, with a spicy finish. Yum.
At dinner I paired this with a DiGiorno pepperoni rising crust pizza. By now the Zin’s character had expanded and was a wee bit more jammy — the perfect accompaniment to my meal.
Later, I relaxed with a glass while watching reruns of The Americans. Despite Elizabeth’s steely haughtiness, the Zin held its own remarkably well.
With a wee bit left for the next day, I enjoyed it alongside a Chick-Fil-A Grilled Chicken Cool Wrap. Still delicious, my only complaint was that the bottle was gone all too quickly.
Many thanks for the opportunity to play a role in this offer!
